Anemia and iron deficiency affect billions of people worldwide, especially women of reproductive age, pregnant women, and young children. Many countries have iron and folic acid supplementation programs for pregnant women. However, the impact of these programs is uncertain. Multiple-micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy has been advocated; however, it is unclear whether this has additional advantages. Overall, programs have shown only modest impact on increasing birth weight. This review discusses the present state of knowledge on interventions to improve iron status during pregnancy and reproductive health, and investigates other possibilities such as supplementation prior to conception to improve maternal and child health.
贫血和缺铁影响着全球数十亿人，尤其是育龄妇女、孕妇和幼儿。许多国家都有为孕妇提供铁和叶酸补充剂的项目。然而，这些项目的效果并不确定。人们提倡在怀孕期间补充多种微量营养素，但这是否有额外的好处还不清楚。总的来说，这些项目对增加出生体重的影响只有适度。这篇综述讨论了改善孕期和生殖健康中铁状况的干预措施的现有知识，并探讨了其他可能性，如在受孕前补充营养以改善母婴健康。
